Ryan Lochte Stands By Rio Robbery Story Amid Police Doubt

Ryan Lochte is standing by his story that he and three other U.S. swimmers were robbed at gunpoint in Rio over the weekend after their story has come into question by Brazilian police.

Ryan spoke with NBC’s Matt Lauer and he said the following: “I wouldn’t make up a story like this nor would the others. We’re victims in this and we’re happy that we’re safe.”

Two of the other swimmers involved , Gunnar Bentz and Jack Conger, were detained at the Rio airport for questioning, and they have not been allowed to leave Brazil.
